Trump Supporter’s Truck Torched Quote: Hao Lee had taken his 2-year-old son fishing on what seemed like a beautiful November afternoon. He parked his white Dodge Ram truck along Garden Highway near Elverta Road. The back bumper sporting a pair of Donald Trump stickers. "About a couple hours into fishing I heard someone yelling out 'F' Trump," recalled Lee . . . "After that I heard glass breaking, I called 911 and a couple of minutes later I saw smoke," he said. http://fox40.com/2016/11/03/trump-su...truck-torched/ I first heard about this incident . . . on the Canadian news. I have heard people have had Trump campaign signs and decorations stolen from their property. __________________ "It's a free country; you can say whatever you want." --Old American Saying (U.S. Postal Service stamp-- from 1977 Americana series which extols freedom of speech and features a Speaker's Stand decorated with an American Flag shield.)

Re: Trump Supporter’s Truck Torched As odd as it is, I never saw a vandalized political sign until last week, a block from my house. It was a Trump sign. I'm only sharing that because I'm shocked it was the first time. __________________ From Jewish Passover to Christian Eucharist: the Story of the Todah “If men will not be governed by the Ten Commandments, they shall be governed by the ten thousand commandments.” ― G.K.

Re: Trump Supporter’s Truck Torched I just thought today, that my ideal candidate, who I would vote for in a second, would be... A middleaged, happily married wife and mother, a black lady, and she would be strong in her Catholic faith, strongly oppose abortion, and she would be dignified and even have a Latino lady as her running mate! The only thing against her, unfortunately, would be that she isn't pro-murder. Other than that, she would be everything they're looking for. Seriously, I wish there were a lady like that, because as I said, I would vote for her in a second, and she would stand for what is right and true, and maybe if she was black and female, people would start listening. __________________ When God saw it was not good for Man to be alone, He created Woman.

Re: Trump Supporter’s Truck Torched Stealing political signs is big in the city nearby us; people having signs in their yards stolen frequently. An insurance agent told me one it's not a good plan to put a political bumper sticker on your car for it increases your rate of vandalism.

Re: Trump Supporter’s Truck Torched When my son and I were on our way home a couple days ago, we saw two people pulling down a giant (4'x6') Trump/Pence sign off of someone's fence. It was a busy road in a higher-minority area (my school district), and I thought it took some courage to put that sign up in that area. People in that area feel personally threatened by Trump -- not because they're illegal, but because of his inflammatory talk and his history of being accused of not paying his blue-collar workers. I'm basing this on what I've heard from the kids in my school. Obviously in my music class I don't discuss anything political, but my older students are always talking with each other about this election. Assuming that they are just parroting their parents' views, it's HRC 25 to 1 in this community! Absolutely NOT defending stealing, vandalism, threats, attacks, or any other such thing! I wished I could have stopped those who were ripping that sign down. But given it was a busy street with no parking, and given the anger and acts of violence that have infused this election cycle -- there was nothing to do but keep driving and pray for them. __________________ Saint Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us.

I have heard people have had Trump campaign signs and decorations stolen from their property. I live in a semi rural area (i.e. horse and agricultural properties abutting a town of about 60k). One property has a large Trump sign (say 4 ft x 8 ft). About 6 weeks ago the 2x2 posts were broken and the sign thrown on the side of the road. The owner first proped it up and then later fixed the post. A few days later the sign was covered in spray paint. The owners were undeterred and fixed the damage once again. Not only were they vandals, but they had to trespass when they hopped a barbed wire fence and climbed a 5 or 6 foot berm to do the damage.

Re: Trump Supporter’s Truck Torched The only vandalism I have seen (which may not have been vandalism, but it certaoly seems it is) is a Trump sign with the "T" and the "P" cut off leaving only the word "Rum". I don't know why anyone would do that. __________________

Re: Trump Supporter’s Truck Torched Where I live, Trump signs and pro-life signs get vandalized and/or stolen. Cars with pro-life bumper stickers get plastered with abortion stickers. __________________ Come, Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of Thy Divine Love.

Re: Trump Supporter’s Truck Torched Quote: Originally Posted by TCEL Right. I haven't been living under a rock, so I'm surprised I hadn't seen anything before now. It just struck me. And it's unfortunate that either side does it. Nobody can say, well just liberals do it. Or only conservatives do it. Bc both sides do it. We have to understand that we have differences. __________________ Check out my Catholic Apologetic Booklet. 121 themes/doctrines, 5,200 Bible Verses, 192 pages.

An insurance agent told me one it's not a good plan to put a political bumper sticker on your car for it increases your rate of vandalism. Indeed. Do they even cover you or your house when you are found making political statements? I know some life insurance applications include disclosure if you plan to travel abroad, among other things.

There have been so few signs in any yards this year -- it's really the most notable aspect of candidate support this time around. I saw one Trump sign that was vandalized to say "chump." There is a homeowner who backyard faces a VERY busy street, and every election he posts signs on a tall posts over his back fence. What I found the most shocking was that someone managed to reach that sign to vandalize it. Super public and super dangerous! Honestly, I marvel at the level of animosity of both sides of this election -- the judgments and calumny even here on CAF among those who disagree is shocking. It's no wonder that people are hesitant to take sides publicly with yard signs or bumper stickers. We just need to keep praying and confessing our own sins, I think, rather than worrying about everyone else's. And pray for those with whom we disagree -- for their safety as well. __________________ Saint Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us. ALL for Jesus! ALL that He wants!

It's easier to "sweep that part of abortion under the rug." and pay "Let's all just say this was not a baby." Sad but true. What they think is an unreality. To them, they have tried to fool others so relentlessly, that they have truly succeeded in only tricking themselves. Their outrage is over the thought of a woman “forced” to carry an unwanted pregnancy. They will always say “the woman” and “the pregnancy,” never “the mother” and “the unborn child she carries inside of her.” In their mind, they find it worse that a woman deals with carrying her child for nine months, possibly less if the child might be born early, or even miscarried, rather than that an innocent, tiny child is gotten rid of in the most horrific ways. Temporary inconvenience hardly compares and pales in comparison to what they do to these preborn children. How a society can honestly think it is worse for someone to be temporarily inconvenienced than it is to viciously attack a tiny, living being inside of her own mother’s womb is unfathomable and selfish to the extreme. All it should take is seeing exactly what is done to these children to make anyone repulsed by it. The thought of all of that blood, and heaps upon heaps of “discarded” miniature bodies, burnt, butchered, and left forgotten and uncared about by apparently anyone at all, honestly makes me nauseated. I can’t imagine how anyone, for any reason at all, could defend such a hellish horror. They can’t stand the thought that one person cares. They want no one at all to actually care about what these forgotten little ones have had to go through. Some are even so low they laugh about it. Their defense of such wickedness is the worst evil I’ve ever known. Good God, I would love nothing more than to see this violent abomination abolished once and for all. Vileness in this world is rewarded, apparently. Not in the next. __________________ When God saw it was not good for Man to be alone, He created Woman.   #25   Nov 7, '16, 9:54 am Usige Regular Member   Join Date: August 17, 2007 Posts: 4,134 Religion: Catholic Re: Trump Supporter’s Truck Torched Quote: Originally Posted by Mary Gail 36 You're under aged but some, me included, might appreciate some rum in the next few days.
